So sorry to hear that, Fuente. Did you land something or are you still out of work?
Our daughter’s boyfriend has a friend who has been out of work two years. He refuses to go backwards in position. I appreciate going backwards is tough and hard to recover from. Not sure that’s the right decision to hold out for the same position or an advancement.
Thanks Biden (and the whole fedgov) for fouling everything up during COVID.
I was in that position 30 years ago. I took a 20% pay cut for a new job, but within a couple of years I was back to my layoff salary. A few years later I was making more. I am of the opinion that some cash flow is better than no cash flow.
Haven’t worked a regular job since 16. Painted houses, did handyman stuff, 3rd party recruiter, tutor...still a musician. Advanced Engineering Degrees and leadership experience has been a career death sentence. Did some consulting too.
I apparently went backwards to get my current job. It’s a good job, and it pays 25 dollars an hour. What’s wrong with that, you ask? Well, the amount of income it takes to be middle class is now around $100K. I’m earning about half of that.
I do take responsibility for my previous job loss. I moved to Florida to escape the DC area during COVID, and then we were called back into the office . . . in Silver Spring, Maryland. So I lost that job. So I bear responsibility.
But I will ALWAYS pin some of this mess on Joe Biden and his Dem and GOP collaborators in Congress. Their Communist nonsense is making things so much worse than they have to be.
